Challenges for mobility The Eurodesk Youth Information Survey 2025 offered young people space to share their opinions on challenges related to mobility. Those who participated in mobility in 2022 or 2023 were asked about the challenges they experienced, and those who did not go abroad in 2022 or 2023 were asked about challenges that prevented them from going. The first set of challenges focused on those which occurred when accessing mobility programmes. It is obvious (see Figure 48 and Figure 49) that the four main issues were identified identically by those German young people who went abroad and by those who did not: financial challenges, lack of information, administrative problems, and problems in finding opportunities for which one is eligible. It is also apparent that the challenges were identified by larger shares of those German youth with no mobility experience, when compared to those who actually went abroad. For example, while 62% of German youth without mobility experience fear lack of information, only 36% of the young Germans with mobility experience state that it was a challenge for them when they were preparing for traveling abroad. In other words, while the four key challenges were identified by both groups, they did not occur in reality as often as they were feared.
